Having seen the penduline tits so quickly we then had time to head up to Cardiff, to Forest Farm where there has been a very photogenic little bunting. The hide took a bit of finding, if anybody reads this and is planning to go, you need to go to the hide adjacent to the utility block in the Forest Farm Conservation Centre. The hide is not signposted, does not appear on any map we found, and is very well hidden from the road! However, once we found the hide, the bunting was easy, at times coming as close as a few feet, and the sun even tried to come out and made a dull day a bit brighter and better for photography. My first little bunting since the bird at Eccleston Mere in 1994.
